when trying to connect to the imap server there is 15 seconds delay. I have tried 3 times.all connections had 15 seconds delay. I have checked network connections during delay. Network connection is okay. after connection established cyrus waits for some delay before giving "OK helios Cyrus IMAP4 v.2.0.11 prompt. below I have attached an strace output from mutt client. the same occurs with "telnet host 143" also. Also only after this much delay, imapd.log has been written. strace output: 12:54:58 execve("/usr/local/bin/mutt", ["mutt"], [/* 34 vars */]) = 0 ... 12:54:58 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4 12:54:58 connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.6.254")}}, 16) = 0 12:54:58 send(4, "\'\315\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\6helios\5local\6ankara"..., 48, 0) = 48 12:54:58 time(NULL) = 982580098 12:54:58 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 1, 5000) = 1 12:54:58 recvfrom(4, "\'\315\205\200\0\1\0\1\0\1\0\1\6helios\5local\6ankara"..., 1024, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_a$... 12:54:58 close(4) = 0 12:54:58 write(1, "\rConnecting to helios... \33["..., 34) = 34 12:54:58 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4 12:54:58 connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(143), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.6.17")}}, 16) = 0 -->12:54:58 read(4, "* OK helios Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.11 "..., 1024) = 46 12:55:13 write(4, "a0000 CAPABILITY\r\n", 18) = 18 12:55:13 read(4, "* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL"..., 1024) = 178 12:55:13 write(1, "\rPassword for oguz@helios: ", 27) = 27 ... 12:55:17 write(1, "\rLogging in...\33[K", 17) = 17 12:55:17 write(4, "a0001 LOGIN \"oguz\" \"h1u2n3@ta\"\r\n", 32) = 32 12:55:17 read(4, "a0001 OK User logged in\r\n", 1024) = 25 12:55:17 write(4, "a0002 LIST \"\" \"\"\r\n", 18) = 18
